The Story Behind the Bottle
Run by Ghislain de Montgolfier, great-grandson of the founder, Bollinger remains firmly family owned. Special Cuvée NV uses the Pinots to lend summer berry notes, while Chardonnay gives it a creaminess. Nearly all the grapes are sourced from Grand or Premier Cru vineyards, while 10% reserve wine – up to 15 years old – contributes the complexity you expect from this great name. Madame Lily Bollinger, who died in 1971, was the wine’s greatest ambassador. When asked how she enjoyed her Champagne, she replied, “I drink it when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I’m not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise, I never touch it — unless I’m thirsty!”
